Today, we lost an absolute legend. I am sending deep condolences to the family of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o. A giant has fallen, but he leaves behind an epic, historic legacy. May he rest well, and may those that follow in his wake uphold the powerful work he gifted to the world.

This notification is cracking me up. Please, Spotify, tell me more about the countdown that Mozart has started in anticipation of his new album.

Ok, #booksky📚, here I am, once again plugging the Booktok/Bookstagram that @autumnadia.bsky.social and I launched recently. It's called Specs 'n Texts, and you can find us on Insta and TikTok. We're also on here at @specsntexts.bsky.social

Deeply unserious country. Because why is the Rockefeller Center tree part of this graphic of ol boy's movements on Dec 4?

Well, yesterday, I experienced a fun (read: terrifying) first while nearing the end of my weeklong work trip...

Using this notification from the BBC as an excuse to congratulate myself for confounding my phone. B/c if it actually knew me, it would know there are few things I care LESS about than some big fashion to-do

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Welp, the nonsense has found its way to my Fable DMs. Why can't we just have peace?? 😫

Apparently, Spotify thinks this song is a crucial part of 2000s music culture...

Tbh, I'm just impressed that I still remember all the lyrics
November 16, 2024 at 1:37 AM
Basically just gonna be over on Fable and on 🟦☁️more. Same username on both. Come join me over there, y'all!

Also, @specsntexts is up and running on TikTok and Insta! Come see what @AutumnAdia and I think as we read Black books!

I'm sorry, but what the hell, Spotify? This is borderline diabolical
November 23, 2024 at 1:32 AM
Y'ALL! @AutumnAdia and I are working on something SO EXCITING. Follow us over @specsntexts on all platforms for the updates!

Ooh, I just guffawed so loudly re-reading this part about the NYC mayor in an author's acknowledgements

I have had this phone for about 2 years. It absolutely knows that I am neither a runner nor a morning person...

Je crie un ÉNORME merci à @RiadHHadiR pour m'avoir envoyé une copie de son roman, qui n'est pas (encore) disponible aux États Unis.

J'ai vraiment hâte de m'entamer!
